The Vietnamese President’s attendance at the High-Level General Debate, coinciding with the 80th founding anniversary of the UN, holds great significance. It affirms Vietnam's strong commitment to multilateralism and to the core values of the UN. The participation of President Luong Cuong and the Vietnamese delegation reflects the Party and State’s deep interest in multilateral cooperation and major UN agendas.
It also reaffirms Vietnam's foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization and diversification, as well as its proactive and active international integration in a comprehensive, deep, and effective manner.
Moreover, the President's working trip coincides with the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and the US, and the second anniversary of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
This is an opportunity for the two countries to reflect their journey from former adversaries to friends, partners, Comprehensive Partners, and now Comprehensive Strategic Partners.
It is also a chance to develop a roadmap for sustainable, effective, and substantive implementation of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership framework and discuss major orientations and measures to continue maintaining the positive, stable, and substantive development of bilateral relations in the years to come.
